He thought at the beginning that he was doing what the American people wanted him to do. He didn't realize that most Americans are lazy when it comes to standing up for our rights and that's why the government is walking all over us. We grumble for awhile but that's about it. The media is also doing the same thing to him they did to Sarah Palin.

Cruz knew he was not going to defund or delay Obamacare. He knew it. And he also knew that the majority of Americans opposed shutting down the government over what he was trying to do.

So, no, it's not true that he was doing what the American people wanted him to do. He was doing what HE wanted to do, and it blew up in his face.

Really? So only people that hate Cruz are being counted by pollsters. Is that what you believe?

I don't know who they're polling but polls can be manipulated. I'm saying the media is trying desperately to vilify him in every way possible. The media works for Obama. Can't have someone as honest and reasonable as Ted Cruz running things in Washington. Better to "nip it in the bud." You know, like they did to Sarah Palin.

So you think polling companies, whose reputations are based on the accuracy of their polls, are intentionally wrecking future opportunities by manipulating the results?

It's so enlightening to read a list of factually unsupported assertions issued by someone who pretends to act in defense of losers that he secretly despises (in this case, RINO Republicans) but who, knowing their place, are felicitously willing to lose every damn time. What Weinstein is really complaining about is the uncomfortable presence of someone who is maddeningly unwilling to play according to Washington's established rules of the game, where RINO Republicans always lose to their "social betters", who believe in fact that they are superior, just as the RINO's believe in their own diminutive, second-class status. They're not "worthy". So they go out to dinner with the Democrats who hate them and call them names, and feel grateful for it. Stockholm Syndrome is not just for hostages.

Liberalism isn't really about making the world a better place. It's about reassuring the elites that they are good people for wanting to rule over it.
